L in tabs doesn't mean legato but TIED note! If you don't know what a tied note is be sure to check Andrew's Time 101 lesson at this here link: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=3204 As for legato: Robin pointed you to the basics of legato lesson which is good to start your legato journey!

Yeah, legato is also used for a piece of music that is played smoothly. In guitar world, we call thet "hammer on/pull off" technique legato because the licks played like that are smooth.. As a counter example, on a woodwind instrument such as a Clarinet, Legato means playing the notes without stopping them with your tounge in between. Same effect, different mechanics. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
